Editing Hazardous waste (section)

===Management and health effects===
Hazardous waste management and disposal comes with consequences if not done properly. If disposed of improperly, hazardous gaseous substances can be released into the air resulting in higher morbidity and mortality.<ref name=":02">{{Cite book |url=https://www.eurekaselect.com/185269/volume/1 |title=Hazardous Waste Management and Health Risks |date=2020-08-23 |publisher=BENTHAM SCIENCE PUBLISHERS |isbn=978-981-14-5474-5 |editor-last=Marfe |editor-first=Gabriella |doi=10.2174/97898114547451200101 |editor-last2=Di Stefano |editor-first2=Carla}}</ref> These gaseous substances can include hydrogen chloride, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, and some may also include heavy metals.<ref name=":02" /> With the prospect of gaseous material being released into the atmosphere, several organizations (RCRA, TSCA, HSWA, CERCLA) developed an identification scale in which hazardous materials and wastes are categorized in order to be able to quickly identify and mitigate potential leaks. F-List materials were identified as non-specific industrial practices waste, K-List materials were wastes generated from specific industrial processes - pesticides, petroleum, explosive industries, and the P & U list were commercially used generated waste and shelf stable pesticides.<ref name=":02" /> Not only can mismanagement of hazardous wastes cause adverse direct health consequences through air pollution, mismanaged waste can also contaminate groundwater and soil.<ref name=":02" /> In an Austrian study, people who live near industrial sites are "more often unemployed, have lower education levels, and are twice as likely to be immigrants."<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Glatter-Götz |first1=Helene |last2=Mohai |first2=Paul |last3=Haas |first3=Willi |last4=Plutzar |first4=Christoph |date=2019-07-01 |title=Environmental inequality in Austria: do inhabitants' socioeconomic characteristics differ depending on their proximity to industrial polluters? |url=https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/ab1611 |journal=Environmental Research Letters |volume=14 |issue=7 |pages=074007 |doi=10.1088/1748-9326/ab1611 |issn=1748-9326|doi-access=free }}</ref> This creates disproportionately larger issues for those who depend heavily on the land for harvests and streams for drinking water; this includes Native American populations. Though all lower-class and/or social minorities are at a higher risk for being exposed to toxic exposure, Native Americans are at a multiplied risk due to the facts stated above (Brook, 1998). Improper disposal of hazardous waste has resulted in many extreme health complications within certain tribes. Members of the Mohawk Nation at Akwesasne have suffered elevated levels of PCB [Polychlorinated Biphenyls] in their bloodstreams leading to higher rates of cancer.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Brook |first=Daniel |date=July 3, 2006 |title=Environmental Genocide:: Native Americans and Toxic Waste |url=https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1536-7150.1998.tb03260.x |journal=The American Journal of Economics and Sociology |language=en |volume=57 |issue=1 |pages=105–113 |doi=10.1111/j.1536-7150.1998.tb03260.x |issn=0002-9246}}</ref>
